That he does. Very active and takes up a ton of space. It's just frustrating to see him make a great play on either end of the floor, have the ball in his hands and then...DO'H hands of stone sometimes. But I'm being picky. I've been very pleased with his play so far.

Students didn't show up too well. But with finals coming up, not totally unexpected. Student tickets were going for the low price of... free. But the regular fans did turn out pretty well for a meaningless game.

What you want to see in games like this is good shot selection. I'm not particularly worried about the score --- we're going to win. But are we getting good looks? Are we taking good shots? Are we working certain possessions --- pushing the ball in the right spots?

These are things we need to worry about more than anything. In that Bradley game, this was what concerned me the most.

Before this game Vogrich was playing very well. He's been a much better defender than Stauskas and had taken on that gritty role that we needed.

He was getting like 8 minutes a game, so it's a nonfactor, but he was certainly playing better than he has all year.

This has BY FAR been his worst game.

We're taking good shots for the most part...and if we wanted, we could play our best or go 1-3-1 and shut down this slip-screen stuff they're running.

Vogrich really strugged in his first time off the bench...I might go back with putting him in the starting lineup and bringing him out quickly for Stauskas.

Then again, Levert is likely going to eat into his minutes. Wouldn't be shocked to see Stauskas start and Levert be the backup wing player.

He was playing well all things considered. Stauskas was lightyears ahead of him on the offensive end. But he was playing solid defense while Stauskas was giving up easy baskets earlier this year. He was also the first guy on the floor for loose balls and scrappy plays.

He was playing his role well. Then Stauskas was coming off the bench playing his. I think the emergence of Levert has more to do with Vogrich to the bench than Nik's play. Stauskas is always going to get starter's minutes whether he's starting or not.

He is a part of this team. Stop treating him like some sort of cancer. You have no idea what he contributes on or off the floor...I know I don't, but when I watch him, he does the little things well. He can get hot and produce a mini run by himself. Is he a starter...No...Is he a player who can provide some time off the bench...Yes. Stauskus is catching up on the D-end, and hence, greater minutes.
